Need advise on this code

fxcba · Post by **fxcba** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 6:43 pm

Hello
I'm defenitely not a coder, but I'm learning (very slowly I have to admit

), I have problem on showing an indi value on main chart, text part is ok but only get zeroes instead the correct value, the indi is ATR
is this correct? : PATR=iATR(NULL,NULL,ATR_Period,0);
or should it be : PATR= iATR(NULL,0,ATR_Period;0);
both ways show on screen: ATR= 0,000000
what I'm missing?

Hi iATR is used in this way:

double PATR=iATR(symbol,timeframe, period,shift);
symbol
Symbol name on the data of which the indicator will be calculated. NULL means the current symbol.

timeframe
Timeframe. 0 means the current chart timeframe.

period
Averaging period.

shift
0 means current bar, 1 previous closed bar and so on..

Cheers

Tommaso

Hi Tomasso
thank you for your answer
I've declared PATR as double, and text is shown on screen, why is no reading the value?

Is this correct?:
ObjectSetText("ATR",StringConcatenate("ATR: ",DoubleToStr(PATR)),14,"Tahoma",Yellow);

Maybe you can attach your complete code, than I will take a look, why it is not working as intended..

Hello
Can somebody provide a template of a MA crossover an oscilator?
I'm in the task of create a WPR-MA cross, but I'm a little confused on how to perform the crossover
